Towards Anti-policing
Prefiguring Possibilities beyond the Thin Blue Line
About this book
Offering a diagnostic global perspective on police brutality, Towards Anti-policing: Prefiguring Possibilities beyond the Thin Blue Line raises critical questions about whether policing is needed at all and what underlying purpose it actually serves. In this post-pandemic era, where the grip of authoritarianism has only tightened, Towards Anti-policing positions radical grassroots activism as a first line of critical defiance against the 'Fear Terror Paradigm' of policing logics and the pervasive brutality that this form of community control represents.
